DCAS’s Division of Energy Management (DEM) leads the City’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions from government operations. Our goals are to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 40 percent by 2025 (40x25), 50 percent by 2030 (50x30), and 80 percent by 2050 (80x50). Additionally, DEM is tasked with completing work related to the City’s other energy-related commitments, such as pledging to install 100 MW of solar photovoltaics on City buildings by 2025. DEM works toward achieving the above goals by managing the City’s utility accounts, developing the City’s annual utility energy budget; helping our agency partners identify and pursue energy-saving opportunities at their facilities; leading energy efficiency and distributed generation projects across the City’s portfolio; and helping implement operations and maintenance best practices.

The Senior Program Manager, Agency Planning and Implementation will sit within DEM’s Operations Unit, which is responsible for delivering energy efficiency, clean energy, and electrification projects across the City. The Senior Program Manager will be charged with leading a team of 2-3 staff which will work with our partner agencies to help them meet or exceed their energy and emissions reduction performance targets. The targets have been established under the City’s Local Law 97 (LL97) Implementation Action Plan and include emissions reduction targets for 2025 and 2030. Additionally, sector teams shall support agency partners in pursuit of City energy and emissions policy goals, e.g. electrification of fossil fuel burning equipment.

The responsibilities of the Senior Program Manager are expected to include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Conducting portfolio-level planning for the agencies | Work with other DEM and agency staff to evaluate, prioritize, and sequence energy projects across the agencies’ portfolios given their LL97 targets. In particular, prioritize sites for larger, multi-year (comprehensive) capital projects; identify replicable opportunities for simpler energy efficiency projects and operations and preventative maintenance work; help integrate energy and electrification projects into agency capital planning efforts; and recommend energy audits and assessments.

2. Evaluating energy and emission reduction performance for agencies | Work with other DEM and agency staff to regularly evaluate each agency’s progress towards their LL97 targets. Work with their peers across DEM and senior leadership to generate solutions for overcoming barriers to project implementation and adjust overall sector strategy as necessary.

3. Driving quality control and quality assurance efforts within and across internal teams | Work with other DEM staff to manage energy project evaluation, reporting, accounting, quality assurance and quality control, and data management. Act to ensure a high degree of timely completion and quality for project execution. Identify and coordinate DEM resources to help facilitate project delivery as needed.

4. Supervising project managers and analysts | Supervising project managers and analysts within the team.
